Nov. 20. President 1 Wilson is expected to submit the beat i en peace treaty at the next session of ; congress, starting December 1, in an j other attempt to obtain ratification. The treaty went back to Wilson fol lowing failure of the ratification vote at a spectacular final session of the senate last nlgnt. Following two re jections of the Lodge resolution for ratification a resolution for unquali fied ratification was defeated by a vote of 3S to 53. Senator Hitchcock declared today that Wilson will submit the treaty to the next session. A compromise will then be effected on the basis of the Lodge reservations slightly modified, the "mild reservations" predicted.

Failure to ratify the treaty marked the end of the first sitting of the new republican congress which began in May 1919. What was to have been a great reconstruction session struck an early snag in the treats' and all at tempts to enact a program or florhestic legislation to put the country back on a peace time basis failed. Pressing reconstruction measures which congress failed to enact In clude: Return of the railroads, reorganiza tion nf the army on a peactime basis, repeal of wartime luxury taxes, estah. lishment of a merchant marine policy, opening of public lands for soldier settlement. development of water power sites on public lands, opening up of oil. coal and phosphate lands, eovernment control of the meat pack ing industry, and revision of the court martial system. When congress convenes Decem ber 1. action on these measures will "till be blocked until the treaty Is dis posed of. Senate leaders expect to make quick work of the treaty to clear the way for domestic If glsla-tlon. Comment Withheld. WARRINGTON, Nov. 20.

It is learned authoritatively at the white house this afternoon. Secretary Tumulty and the presi dent had a long conference at which the decision was reached. The treaty situation Will remain as it is now. It was learned, until the president puts the treaty before the next session. Wilson is working on his message to congress now. Bta t cment Hti morod It was understood that the presi dent was working on a statement to the pen pie telling them that chaoa confronts the world as a result of tho treatv failure, that It ts a victory for b 'dshevism and Germany, putting the blame on opposition in the senate.
